Written/Recorded: December 25, 2010 Not really finished, not even sure what it is. I jst felt like playing some loud guitar... EBEGAD (Capo III) and EADGBE.

I was going to do a jazz version of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" for the Yule Tide season, but I wrote an original ballad instead. Inspired by a knick knack my wife has of a pair of ceramic snowbirds cuddling. In the song, I put them into a…

So Jim of "Movement to Contact" asked me a couple of weeks ago to send him something... I had no idea how ridiculously good the final result would come out. KL: Vocals, lyrics, left side rhythm guitar and picking MTC: Lead guitar, bass…
